La campylobactériose est une zoonose causée par Campylobacter jejuni, une bactérie commensale du poulet, considérée comme la principale source de contamination humaine. C. jejuni est rarement retrouvé dans le tube digestif des poulets avant deux ou trois semaines d'âge. Ce qui pourrait s'expliquer par la transmission d'une immunité maternelle (anticorps IgY) transmise aux poussins via le jaune d'œuf. À la Chaire de recherche en Salubrité des Viandes (CRSV), la caractérisation d'anticorps IgY extraits de jaunes d'œufs frais a montré des niveaux de production d’anticorps différents selon le mode d’immunisation et suggère, in vitro, des effets sur ce pathogène. Ce qui laisse penser qu'en tant qu'additif alimentaire, une poudre de jaunes d'œuf potentialisée permettrait de lutter contre C. jejuni chez le poulet à griller. Dans ce travail, le processus de fabrication de l'additif (déshydratation par « Spray dry » puis encapsulation) a été évalué et les différents modes d'immunisation des poules pondeuses ont également été comparés. Les anticorps ont été extraits des différentes poudres de jaunes d'œuf ou du produit final encapsulé, et caractérisés in vitro (dosage / ELISA, test de mobilité, bactéricidie, western blot). Puis, une évaluation in vivo de la capacité de ces poudres encapsulées, incorporée à 5 % dans la moulée, afin de réduire ou de bloquer la colonisation intestinale des oiseaux par C. jejuni a été testée. In vitro, les résultats ont montré des concentrations d'anticorps et d'efficacité variables selon le type de vaccination. Dans cette étude, on a observé que le « Spray dry » a concentré les anticorps dans les poudres et que ces anticorps sont restés fonctionnels contre C. jejuni. On a également observé que l'encapsulation n’entraîne pas une perte quantitative des anticorps contenus dans les poudres. Malgré les résultats in vitro encourageants, les résultats in vivo ne révèlent aucune inhibition ou réduction de la colonisation des oiseaux par C. jejuni. L’absence d’efficacité la poudre de jaunes d’œuf encapsulée dans notre étude n’est pas due à une perte quantitative et/ou qualitative des anticorps comme soutenu dans les expériences in vitro. Ce qui démontre que les recherches doivent être poursuivies afin de déterminer les conditions optimales de l'utilisation de la poudre de jaune d'œuf in vivo, en tant qu'additif alimentaire chez les poulets

Progesterone-receptor complex from freshly prepared hen oviduct cytosol acquired the ability to bind to isolated nuclei, DNA-cellulose and ATP-Sepharose when incubated with 5-10 mM ATP at 4°C. The extent of this ATP-dependent activation was higher when compared with heat-activation achieved by warming the progesterone- receptor complex at 23 °C. The transformation of progesterone-receptor complex which occurred in a time-dependent manner was only partially dependent on hormone presence. The ATP effect was selective in causing this transformation whereas ADP, AMP and cAMP failed to show any such effect. The non-hydrolizable analogs of ATP, adenosine 5'-[a,/3-methylene]triphosphate and adenosine 5-[/l,y-imido]triphosphate were also found to be ineffective. Presence of 10 mM sodium molybdate blocked both the ATP and the heat-activation of progesterone-receptor complex. Mn" or Mg` had no detectable effect on the receptor activation but the presence of Ca" increased the extent of ATP-activation slightly. EDTA presence (> 5 mM) decreased the extent of receptor activation by about 40 % and was, therefore, not included in the buffers used for activation studies. Divalent cations were also ineffective when tested in the presence of 1- 5 mM EDTA. The properties of progesterone-receptor complex remained intact under the above conditions when analyzed for steroid-binding specificity and Scatchard analysis. However, the ATP-activated progesterone-receptor complex lost the ability to aggregate when tested on low-salt sucrose gradients. ATP was equally effective in activating the rat-uterine estradiol-receptor complex at 4 "C and influenced the transformation of 4-S receptor form into a 5-S form when analyzed on sucrose gradients containing 0.3 M KCI. The presence of ATP also increased the rate of activation of progesterone-receptor complex at 23 °C. These findings suggest a role for ATP in receptor function and offer a convenient method of studying the process of receptor activation at low temperature and mild assay conditions.

Sol–gel glasses with Fe3O4 nanoparticles having particle sizes laying in the range 10–20 nm were encapsulated in the porous network of silica resulting in nanocomposites having both optical and magnetic properties. Spectroscopic and photoluminescence studies indicated that Fe3O4 nanocrystals are embedded in the silica matrix with no strong Si–O–Fe bonding. The composites exhibited a blue luminescence. The optical absorption edge of the composites red shifted with increasing concentration of Fe3O4 in the silica matrix. There is no obvious shift in the position of the luminescence peak with the concentration of Fe3O4 except that the intensity of the peak is decreased. The unique combinations of magnetic and optical properties are appealing for magneto–optical applications.

In India, film censorship originated with Cinematograph Act 1918 empowering the Provincial Governments to establish censorial authorities. In 1949, an amendment provided for a Central Board of Film Censors. In 1952, a new legislation gave the Central Government enormous powers, making the Board to function as a department of the Central Government. The Government had control over the Board with the mechanism of issuing 'directions' to the censors and laying down censorship rules. The legislation did not provide any objective criteria for censoring films. The 1959 amendment, aimed at curing this defect, only incorporated the grounds contained in Article 19(2) of the Constitution. Even after expert studies and a significant decision by the Supreme Court, pointing out the inadequacy of the existing system, and governmental attempts to bring reforms by way of fresh directions, appointment of appellate authority and framing of new rules, the system still warrants radical change. The thesis explores them.

For the scientific and commercial utilization of Ocean resources, the role of intelligent underwater robotic systems are of great importance. Scientific activities like Marine Bio-technology, Hydrographic mapping, and commercial applications like Marine mining, Ocean energy, fishing, aquaculture, cable laying and pipe lining are a few utilization of ocean resources. As most of the deep undersea exploration are beyond the reachability of divers and also as the use of operator controlled and teleoperated Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) and Diver Transport Vehicles (DTVs) turn out to be highly inefficient, it is essential to have a fully automated system capable providing stable control and communication links for the unstructured undersea environment.

Agriculture in the Mojanda Watershed is facing rainfall reductions caused by climate change. Reductions of water availability in the Watershed are also due to constant extension of the agricultural activities into the páramo ecosystem above 3000m a.s.l., with this ecosystem having immanently important functions in the local water balance. The application of pesticides threatens the quality of water and with less precipitation contaminations will further concentrate in the outflow. To analyze problems associated with agricultural practices in the area a questionnaire about agricultural practices (28) was conducted and fields (20) were surveyed for pests and diseases with a focus on potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.), tree tomatoes (Solanum betaceum Cav.) and peas (Pisum sativum L.). Potatoes were infected to a low degree with Phytophthora infestans and according to the farmers the Andean potato weevil (Premnotrypes spec.) caused biggest losses. To combat the weevil the soils are disinfected with toxic Carbofuran (WHO Class 1B). Tree tomatoes showed symptoms of various fungal diseases. Most important was Fusarium solani causing the branches to rot and Anthracnosis (Colletotrichum gloeosporioides) causing the fruits to rot. Fungicide applications were correspondingly high. Peas were only minorly affected by Ascochyta blight (Mycosphaerella pinodes) and a root rot. Overall 19 active ingredients were applied of which fungicide Mancozeb (WHO class table 5) and insecticide Carbofuran (WHO Class 1B) were applied the most. Approved IPM methods are advised to reduce pesticide use. For tree tomatoes regular cutting of branches infected with F. solani and regular collection and disposal of infected fruits with Anthracnosis are advised. For potatoes plastic barriers around the fields prevent the Andean potato weevil from laying eggs thus reducing infestation with the larvae in the tubers. Local bioinsecticide “Biol” seems effective and without harm to the environment, although not used by many farmers. Organic fertilization promises to restore decreasing soil fertility, water holding capacity and reduce erosion. The here presented alternatives and strategies to reduce pesticide use pose an opportunity to preserve the water resources of the region.

Four Venda indigenous scavenging (VIS) chickens (one young male and one young female of 10-16 weeks of age, a mature cockerel and a mature hen) were randomly purchased from each of six adjacent rural villages during three different seasons (autumn, winter and spring) to determine the meat yield and carcass chemical composition. A total of 72 chickens were slaughtered and feathers, head, neck, viscera, feet and lungs were removed. The live body weight, dressed carcass weight and also the mass of the breast without wings, thighs and drumsticks were recorded with bones and skin. The muscle tissues of the breast and both legs without tendons and fat were sampled for chemical analysis and were analysed for dry matter, ether extract, crude protein and ash. The carcass weight, dressing %, mass of the breast, mass of the thighs, mass of the drumsticks, breast yield, thighs yield and drumsticks yield of both grower and adult VIS chickens were not influenced by season. The crude protein of the grower chickens breast muscles and fat content of the adult chicken leg muscles differed with season. The meat from VIS chickens provided a constant nutrient (crude protein) supply throughout the year to the rural communities.

Durante los años 1998 y 2002 El Pomar atravesó por una fuerte crisis económica caracterizada por una disminución de las ventas y falta de liquidez que conllevó a graves problemas con los proveedores. Igualmente, había deficiencia en la dirección del área administrativa y financiera generando debilidades frente a la competencia, pues carecían de controles en los procesos internos. Desde el año 2001 hasta el año 2003, las ventas de la empresa habían disminuido en un 65%, lo que ocasionó el cierre de 4 comercializadoras que tenían y el incumplimiento de sus obligaciones fiscales, financieras y con sus proveedores. Dada esta situación se le aconseja a la Junta Directiva tramitar un acuerdo de restructuración bajo la Ley 550 de 1999 con el fin de pagar a sus acreedores. Este acuerdo fue formalizado con los proveedores el 8 de noviembre de 2003 en donde todas las partes quedaron de acuerdo luego que la Superintendencia de Sociedades diera el aval para ejecutarlo. Para el año 2010 la empresa logró superar esta etapa, luego de que la administración se enfocó en reconquistar el mercado perdido, se vendió la empresa a accionistas colombianos para adquirir capital y se realizó de alianzas estratégicas con otras empresas. El presente trabajo tiene como tema central discutir el caso empresarial de cómo El Pomar logró resurgir de su crisis. De este modo, es cómo se establecerán los parámetros que determinarán el desarrollo del trabajo, tales como: perdurabilidad empresarial, ley 550 de 1999, resurgimiento y estrategia.

La presente monografía pretende explorar la cooperación Sur-Sur en el marco de los BRICS como una estrategia de soft power de estos Estados para aumentar su liderazgo global. Lo anterior se constituye como un elemento fundamental en la consolidación de los BRICS como un foro político y ha permitido el inicio de un proceso de cohesión identitaria dentro del grupo, lo que a su vez ha generado que actúen conjuntamente en diferentes espacios. El análisis se hace a través de la aproximación teórica de la hegemonía cooperativa de Thomas Pedersen y el concepto de soft power desarrollado por Joseph Nye, lo que permite no solo caracterizar a los miembros del grupo BRICS sino que también da lugar a identificar sus aspiraciones en el foro y en torno a qué temas u objetivos se unen.
